Every year the Nautical Archaeology Society travels the country to do illustrated talks to groups interested in learning more about archaeology and the work of the NAS.

We have visited local history and archaeology societies, diving clubs, branches of the Women's Institute (with their lovely cakes), Rotary branches as well as giving presentations at conferences.

If you would like a talk at your event or to your group please Contact Us letting us know who you are, where you are and when you meet.

We would then try to find an NAS speaker near to you and all we ask for is a donation to cover some of the travel costs.

About us

The NAS is dedicated to advancing education in nautical archaeology at all levels; to improving techniques in recording, preservation and reporting and to encouraging the participation of members of the public at all stages. The Nautical Archaeology Society is a non-government organisation formed to further interest in our under-water cultural heritage. We are a registered charity based in the United Kingdom, but with strong links to partner organisations around the world. We aim to preserve our archaeological heritage in the marine environment, by acting as a focus for coastal and marine archaeology. To do this we need to involve everyone- divers and non-divers, scientists, historians and anyone with an interest. Our underwater heritage is not renewable, and is at constant threat from natural and human agencies.
